Howdy!

So, here's a simple portrait of a simple couple!
Mr. and Mrs. Goose.
I realy love the way these big birds move about and warn you for something "weird" as a boat is aproaching.
There were no youngsters yet, but I bet they were working on that!!! ;-)

Just cropped off the bit of the pic that wasn't needed.
Added a bit of sharpness and darkened just slightly.

Do you enjoy them as much as I did??
Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Anneke,
Really nice portrait, I like the mood of the scene, simple but effective, nice composition.

Hi Anneke
Charming steam. I did WS. I brightened taking a bit and I changed composition.

This is so cute! I find the duck on the left side (I do not know if it is Mr or Mrs?)a little blue but who am I to judge? I just put myself a picture today with a red sky! I find your subject adorable and I love your picture! Well done! Thanks!

A love story...
Very very good photo Anneke but I would personally crop the right and the left sides to keep only the trees as a background to intensify the emotion of the moment (if we can say like that) ;-)

anneke,
great shot you have here. and i do enjoy watchin these geese go about their business. it kind of looks like theyre talking, maybe gossiping. its funny. its a very humorous picture, i think. maybe animals are not so different from humans afterall. nice picture, maybe a bit more contrast..
thanks for sharing!

Hoi Anneke,
Goed gecropped en goed gecomponeerd. Heb je ze nog even voorlichting gegeven?
Mooie kleuren.
groeten,
Joop!

mr. Goose in the spotlight - mijn vroegere baas bewoonde een gigantische villa en had waakgansen!
Heerlijk voorjaars(zomer)plaatje!

Ha die Naat,
Gak gak...het is me wat! Fine shot of this couple nice to know they are planning their chicks, but you know; NO sex on TL or you will be removed! Anyhow, great composition, perfect use of the rule of third by putting those geese out of centre at the left side of the image. Job well done my dear!

Hello Anneke nice low POV well composed good light white goose in the shade worked out well for the bright sun tfs rgds Necip.

Always nice to view a goose shot Anneke! Maybe you was disturbing their "love time' by following them around? hehe. This looks like a great little spot to open up a lounger and spend a hot summers afternoon. They gave you a pretty nice pose. Nice shooting Anneke and thanks for sharing!

Hi Anneke,
What I love about this shot is your use of the light. Those shadows add so much to the whole composition, and the the mood, of the photograph. The texture on the trees and the detail on the feathers is very good. Well done.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

A nice little intimate moment behind the trees there - I hope they are Mr and Mrs and that there's nothing improper going on here (with you as the paparazzi!). Nice colours and good detail, especially in the birds.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
